Welcome!
Good evening everybody and welcome to /r/ScenesFromAHat, the subreddit where everything's made up and the points don't matter. That's right, the points are like what the second man on the moon said.
This subreddit brings the game Scenes From a Hat from the improv comedy show Whose Line is it Anyway? to Reddit for everyone to let out their inner comedian!
Prompts
The title of your post is the prompt. The key to a good, successful prompt is a topic that's original, open-ended, and does not involve pop culture, current events, or a very specific situation.
To keep the content fresh and welcoming, reposts, spinoffs, and prompts that are too obscure or overly specific, will be removed.
How to respond
Act out your response as if it were a scene. It doesn't have to be as long as a movie script; one or two sentences will usually be enough. If the prompt is "Bad Christmas gifts", act out a short scene of someone finding coal in their stocking, but don't just respond with Coal. Use italics to show actions, if necessary.
Quotation marks are not necessary for a proper, acted-out response, and will not suddenly correct an improper response.
Responses to your own prompts go in the comments, not the text box.
Multiple responses to one prompt go in their own separate comments.
Top-level comments not meant to play the game should begin with a [Meta] tag. The tag is not required in child comments or on non-prompt posts. It may not be used to avoid acting out a scene.
Notice
The mods reserve the right to remove any posts or comments that they deem detrimental to /r/ScenesFromAHat, Whose Line?, or any of our users, even if they do not break any subreddit or site rules. As always, you may appeal such removals by messaging the mods, but they will have the final say. In these (hopefully very few) cases, "But it doesn't break any rules!" will not be a valid appeal.
The meta stuff
This subreddit is not affiliated with Whose Line?, ABC, or the CW.

Your daily reminder to please follow the rules of the sub.
As a lot of you probably have noticed, there's been a high number of posts and responses to posts that either break Rule 1 or don't fit in with the format or spirit of the actual Scenes From A Hat game on the show, 'Whose Line Is Is Anyway?' This has sort of coincided with the massive growth of this sub over the past couple years, which is absolutely awesome on one hand, but does also make it much harder to enforce the rules.
While we understand that it's impossible to catch every single post or response that breaks the rules and many people might treat this sub as a place where they can wind down, joke around, express themselves, and be entertained without somebody constantly nagging or censoring them for it, we are a sub that is technically based on an improv comedy game, and games do have rules. And if you ask me, games are much more fun when the rules are followed and enforced :)
You can also help the mods out by kindly reminding other users to format their posts and responses correctly and/or reporting ones that don't.
If you need help on how to format posts and responses, consult the right-hand sidebar or check out our wiki page.
Whether you are new to this community, or are a long-time regular user, it's important that we all do our part to make sure things run as smoothly as possible around here.
